This is a triple header for reading enjoyment and enlightenment on a period in America's history and a locale we never hear much about. The first part of the book is a very complete "memory" of a young girl's experience during the years of the Civil War which that author wrote for her family members over 20 years later.

I was thrilled to find this book as it relates to my family history. What a treasure trove of writings by women actually experiencing life around the Civil War, their families that saved the writings, and the ones who transcribed it for wider distribution so that I can now read it!.

Unfortunately, I am a little biased because I am researching the Campbell Family of Maury County, TN. Therefore, I enjoyed hearing about the everyday life of these people, of their travels, and of their family relationships.
